You’ve all been so kind in talking to me about my ADHD diagnosis. Can I ask as I suffer terribly from it, is it linked with intense feelings of rejection?

I feel a real pain when I feel it. I can walk into a room and I can feel it immediately from people and I find it hard to brush off.

Sometimes I’m not sure if it’s even real and they don’t like me. Maybe it’s because I’m older (40) and have had to live undiagnosed with people just not being drawn to me because I do or feel differently. I feel it from my mum and always did do growing up. She is undiagnosed because she is stubborn but she is definitely ND, 69 and cant spell or read or write well, she was very cold emotionally growing up and prone to angry outbursts and depression. She suffered with rejection terrible and always felt the victim, still does.

I feel things very intensely when I do something’s wrong. It led to a wrong diagnosis in the past.

@MorticiaSand that sounds helpful. I think I’ve got a grip on it somewhat but that’s only by receiving years of hard knocks and experience. I wish I had early help.

im stuck on chicken or egg. What came first trauma or ND.
